Publication of a completely unrelated article while another team is failing to fix that bug is a side effect of the company having more than one employee.

Companies with more than one person also have the issue that people don't communicate 100% of what's going on. This means prioritization is imperfect so they often do things other than what you'd like them to. Also you'll find different cultures which differently emphasize fixes and new work.

Hope you're not having too bad of a week whule your bug persists.
